Saving money to pay my way.
Working all the time. No time to play.
I guess one day I'll be someone.
Not standing with my head under a gun.

[Chorus]
Hard Tims have made me strong.
Hard Times showed me where I belong.
Hard Times have put me on the right track.
Hard Times- I don't ever want to go back.

Again and again you'll be put to the test.
You don't want to end up like the rest.
It may be harder than you think.
Rembeber I'll be there to watch you sink.
(... 2-3-4)

[Chorus]

I had to fight for all I got.
Courage is not a thing to be bought.
And if you think you're just like me
Walk in my shoes and we shall see.

[Chorus]

Again and again you'll be put to the test.
You don't want to end up like the rest.
It may be harder than you think.
Remember I'll be there to watch you sink.
(..2-3-4)

[Chorus: x2]
